Well well… WELL. This being a Sunday afternoon, Hate Week is no more.

And yet, the Patriots are in the Super Bowl, again. No. 1 seed in the AFC against the Iggles, No. 1 seed in the NFC. Philadelphia is riding a weekend high, after the Hall of Fame selection of Brian Dawkins. And Terrell Owens; say what you will about T.O. (there’s plenty). The guy balled.

That was back in Super Bowl XXwhatever. This time around, Philadelphia has a damn fine roster, notably better than New England’s—in most positions. The one really at stake, well…
Tron Brady: what has NOT being said about him? I heard talk about his career thoroughly eclipsing those of all-time NFL greats, to the point that Brady’s true peers are in other sports—like Gordie Howe, Michael Jordan, or Barry Bonds.
The coaching: what has not being said about Bill Belichick. His assistants have been living the life, getting the Pats to the Super Bowl while being the presumptive new head coaches of the Clots (Josh McDaniels) and Loins (Matt Patricia). Losing to this Eagles team will not hurt their bona fides.
On the Philly sideline, QB coach John DeFilippo has gotten interest from several teams. Super Bowl host Minnesota needs a new offensive coordinator, so DeFlip can’t ask for a better Pro Day. The way Foles stepped aside around the pocket against the Vikings D in the last game bodes well for the coach and QB.
The focus on the Eagles has been on making a game plan that Nick Foles would execute without difficulty, putting success in the hands of Agholor, Ajayi, Blount, Ertz, and Jeffrey. They good. Shit, even Torrey Smith can still force a defense to account for him. So Foles has options, but the question remains: what will he do when confronted with the chance to audible?

Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, this guy,

has also been updating his résumé. He’s got a dynamite roster too, including Chris Long—who won the Super Bowl last year with New England. With LeGarrette Blount providing the debriefing for the Pats offense, I’d say the Iggles got prettay, prettay good mojo going into the game. A shame it’s played in the Birdmurderdome.

So the NFC aviary has been owned in Super Bowls of late, with the Pats doing most of the damage. Big deal. I think the Eagles break the hex, 27-24, and the promise of a New Era will carry us through the goddamn offseason.
Then again, this is New England. Any HATAHs might wanna try something stronger than alcohol.

Last day of the season! Let it out.
Why is Peter Dinklage rapping like Busta?
Huh. I wouldn’t have thought that someone as short as Dinklage could jump the shark
I appear to be on a fairly significant delay. Just assume all my comments happen 30 seconds earlier.
so gritty

I am plagued by the dual irritations of the NBC stream suddenly going to shit and the Pats doing well.
At least make this a shootout
I thought a false start for Gronk was when he tried to drink before taking the top off the vodka bottle
There we go.
Did Amendola come off the bench for that play? Christ he could’ve toasted marshmallows waiting for that ball.
Of course.
Nah, don’t bother to cover Amendola, Iggles
Grit bomb
DANNY FACKIN’ PLAYOFF!!
Seriously guys?
Goddammit Brady
How the fuck was he so alone?????
The wonders of zone defense.
Goddamn it
These Chinese knockoff Otter boxes are just turrible.
Terrell Owens yelling at a guy with the last name Garcia, nothing new.
Gronk’s crabs just flared up, causing him to jump offsides.
Maybe crotch lobsters too.
No Mary Tyler Moore references for the ladies watching at home?
4 Pines Juiced Up Extra Summer Ale is delicious
The NBC stream’s “COVERAGE WILL RESUME MOMENTARILY” is, unintentionally, a correct use of the word.
Man, I sure hope the new Stephen King show focuses on a guy getting hit by a car while jogging, just like every fucking thing he’s written since that happened to him.
And it’s set in Maine
TWO commercial-kickoff-commercial sequences? Now you’ve done it nfl, now you’ve made me mad.

There’s no way that missed extra point isn’t coming back to bite them in the ass later on in the game.
When Jeff Lurie is 85, he’s going to look exactly like Mr. Burns
shut up Fallon. no one is sticking around
Heh, remember that Bruce Willis commercial from the safety game where he said something like, “Good game, huh?” even thoug it was already a blowout?
I member.
So, one point game at the end, right?
It’s great that we’ve all be conditioned to expect the absolute worst.

oops.
It’s fine, he missed that kick to throw off the Grumblebot’s calculations.
No way that missed extra point will come back to bite them in the ass, right?
Nope, no chance at all.
Chekhov’s derp
Okay this is damned good.
Didn’t see this earlier.
I’m sure that will have zero impact on how this game ends.
Dodge Ram Vikings: [Get Pecked to Death by Eagles].

Well fuck my 3 3
Where’s Ayo???????????
Way ahead of you, champ.
Yep, blog loading delays.
Much like my erections.
Meh, I try.
SHANKLOR!
SHANK’HOR WILL NOT BE DENIED.
Jesus, this kid boots 50 yarders like they’re nothing, and he’s Steve Sax on extra points.
NO GOOD
It’s a good thing I don’t mind spoilers, it’s a nice reminder to look up and pay lots of attention to the next play

Ha, there you are.
